Client Advisory – Massachusetts Law Now Provides For Paid Family and Medical Leave Benefits, Funded by New Tax

Massachusetts law now provides for paid family and medical leave for both employees and contractors who work in the Commonwealth.  It is paid for by a new payroll tax that will go into effect later this year.  Employer notice obligations kick in September 30, 2019 and withholding obligations start October 1, 2019.  Joe Laferrera provides a summary of this new law in our most recent client advisory.
